as it gives more background--basically saying, "Unless you've broken
your X configuration, the font sizes are completely determined by the
theme." A broken X configuration includes specifying a DisplaySize or
DPI that causes X to compute a physical display aspect ratio that's
different from your physical display's aspect ratio.
It's still appropriate to verify that your aspect ratio is correct (and
you can do that from checking your DisplaySize and/or DPI values--or
just using xdpyinfo ).
